- Put the sweet potatoes in a steamer and place on top of a saucepan of water on medium heat. Steam for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through. Remove from heat and mash. Refrigerate until cooled or ready to use.
- Place ½ of the black beans into a bowl and mash. Add the remaining black beans, sweet potato, spring onion, 1 cup cooked rice, flour and spices. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
- If the mixture is too wet, add more rice until the mixture holds together. With damp hands form the mixture into 6 even sized burgers and place on the lined tray.
- Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn burgers over. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve in a warm toasted roll or any bread of your liking with salad of your choice.
Try the following salad ingredients: lettuce, grated carrot, beetroot, tomato, pineapple, cucumber, capsicum or red onion.
